Chapter 366: The Spirit Hall's Heavy Losses: The Dispute Between Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are both among the Upper Three Sects, they rank at the very bottom; besides the fact that their only Title Douluo is their patriarch, Yu Yuanzhen, their number of Spirit Masters is also the lowest among the Upper Three Sects.

Including the disciples of the main clan and the affiliated families, they only have about 1,800 Spirit Masters.

Of course, this does not mean their strength is poor; unlike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which prefers quantity over quality, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, which reveres power, is a classic example of preferring quality over quantity. Every disciple who can live in the clan's Lake Heart Island territory is an excellent individual.

But Yu Yuanzhen understands very well that two fists are no match for four hands; the Spirit Hall has dispatched a full 8,000 Spirit Masters this time, which is more than four times the size of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Therefore, the first wave of attacks, launched while the opponent was caught off guard, was particularly important.

The Spirit Hall's army of 8,000 was divided into three waves: 4,000 for a frontal assault, 2,000 for an aerial raid, and 2,000 for an underwater surprise attack.

Utilizing the unique nature of the Lake Heart Island territory, hundreds of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons just now used the water to amplify their electricity, shrouding the entire lake.

The underwater surprise attack legion was nearly wiped out; one can see the corpses of Spirit Hall Spirit Masters floating everywhere on the lake surface right now, numbering around 1,700 to 1,800.

In other words, the underwater surprise attack legion is already gone.

As for those in the sky, they are not having an easy time either; Dugu Bo had long since laid out a poison array in the sky. Ci Xue knows colorless and odorless deadly poisons, but could Dugu Bo not? The current him not only knows them but is even stronger; those below the level of Spirit Emperor are completely unable to resist.

The number of Spirit Masters dispatched by the Spirit Hall is indeed large, but the number of experts above the Spirit Emperor level is limited after all; most are at the level of Soul Ancestor to Soul King.

By the time the Whale Bird Douluo in the sky realized something was wrong and immediately ordered the aerial legion to land, it was already a step too late; about a thousand people had already been poisoned, and even if they did not die immediately, they had already lost their combat effectiveness.

It can be said that this counter-surprise attack by the Blue Lightning clan wiped out over thirty percent of the Spirit Hall's troops in one fell swoop.

Now, they only have about 5,000 Spirit Masters left who can still fight.

Moreover, with both the aerial and underwater surprise attacks having failed, they can now only choose a frontal assault. The Lake Heart Island territory has always been known for being easy to defend and hard to attack; even if they could wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family today, the casualties would likely be unacceptably high.

Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had just jumped onto the shore, grabbed Yu Luomian by the collar in anger, "Bastard, you guy, are you playing us? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family actually had defenses prepared! Or did you, Yu Luomian, use a ruse to deliberately lure us here to slaughter the elites of my Spirit Hall, just so you could claim credit in front of Yu Yuanzhen!"

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, how would I dare? What is going on here? Actually, I don't know either. Your Excellency, think about it: if I had truly betrayed the Spirit Hall, would I still dare to wait on the shore for you to arrive? Wouldn't that be seeking my own death?" Yu Luomian defended himself in a panic.

Hearing this, Ghost Leopard Douluo calmed down slightly. The main point was that Yu Luomian was not wrong; if he were the traitor, he should have retreated back to the family at this time and hidden by Yu Yuanzhen's side, rather than standing here foolishly to rendezvous with them.

"Luo Mian, you don't need to be confused; actually, I am even more confused than you. How has the family ever wronged you that you would actually betray the family and even lead the enemy into our territory, attempting to destroy the family?" On the gate tower of the inner city, Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo walked out, followed by over a thousand Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family Spirit Masters.

Although they were not all Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons, there were many from the affiliated families among them.

But there were at least several hundred dragons; with so many Tyrant Dragon martial souls gathered together to release their martial souls and Spirit Rings, the scene could be considered spectacular.

"Dugu Bo!" Ghost Leopard Douluo was startled, "So it was you. I understand now; the reason the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had defenses was because of you." According to the information Ci Xue sent back earlier, Xue Beng had colluded with Tang Hao to obtain the intelligence on the Soul Hunting Operation, and then sent someone to inform the Grandmaster, letting the Grandmaster notify the family.

After Ci Xue intercepted and killed the Grandmaster midway, he had thought the plan was foolproof, but now he thought of another possibility: Xue Beng might have prepared a backup plan, and that was Dugu Bo.

Everyone knew that Dugu Bo was a good friend of Xue Xing back in the day, and the childless Prince Xue Xing doted on his nephew Xue Beng the most. Even though Xue Xing was already dead, Dugu Bo might still look after Xue Beng; on the surface, the person Xue Beng sought was the Grandmaster, but in reality, Dugu Bo was his backup.

The scheming of this prince who pretended to be a playboy was truly unfathomable.

If Xue Beng were here and knew of Ghost Leopard Douluo's wild imagination, he would probably doubt himself: was he really that smart? But he didn't know anything at all; another inexplicable scapegoat had been placed upon him.

"What, Ghost Leopard, I'm here, do you have an opinion?" Dugu Bo laughed.

"Old Poison, don't forget, you have already joined the Gu Lei Kingdom. Could it be that your Gu Lei Kingdom intends to become our enemy?" Sea Turtle Douluo threatened sternly.

"Old Sea Turtle, no need to howl like that, I can hear you." Dugu Bo picked his ear, "This time I didn't bring a single soldier from the Gu Lei Kingdom; I came of my own volition. And don't forget, my granddaughter has already married into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and is the old dragon's granddaughter-in-law. Can I just watch as you kill my granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and in-laws?"

Ghost Leopard, Sea Turtle, and the others were speechless.

That was true; besides being a Guest Elder of the Gu Lei Kingdom, Dugu Bo was also Dugu Yan's own grandfather. This identity alone made it impossible for him to remain indifferent after learning of the Spirit Hall's plan.

He had indeed come alone, without bringing anyone from the Gu Lei Kingdom, which was enough to prove that the Gu Lei Kingdom did not want to get involved in this matter.

Yu Luomian was still in a daze at this moment; he had not expected that his identity as a mole had been exposed so long ago.

Seeing that Yu Luomian did not answer, Yu Yuanzhen shouted angrily again, "Luo Mian, answer me!"

This roar immediately woke the dazed Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian's expression shifted from dazed to angry, "Why? You ask why? I want to ask that too! Big brother, we grew up together since we were children, and our martial souls are both Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons. Why does the family tilt all its resources toward you? You get to live a glamorous life, becoming a Title Douluo and serving as patriarch, but what about me? I've been trapped at the Spirit Saint level my whole life, unable to make any progress."

"Sigh!" Yu Yuanzhen let out a heavy sigh, "So you believe that the gap between us was caused by the family's favoritism, is that it?"

"Isn't it? If those three soul bones had been given to me, I would have become a Title Douluo long ago." Yu Luomian's eyes were filled with jealousy.

Soul bones are not just about increasing current strength; they also have the effect of improving one's physique and stabilizing one's foundation.

Yu Luomian felt that if he had those three soul bones, even if he couldn't become a Super Douluo like Yu Yuanzhen, at least becoming an ordinary Title Douluo would not have been a problem.
